Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to power systems, including distributed energy resources (DER) systems and methods. More particularly, the present invention relates to control of small distributed energy resources.
- DER distributed energy resources
- DER distributed energy resources
- small power generators typically located at customers sites where the energy they generate is used
- DER can include electricity generators, energy storage, load control, and, for certain classes of systems, advanced power electronic interfaces between the generators and the distribution grid.
- DER systems range in size and capacity from a few kilowatts up to 50 MW. They comprise a variety of technologies, both supply-side and demand-side, that can be located at or near the location where the energy is used.
- CHP combined heat and power
- Fuel cells are also well suited for distributed generation applications. They offer high efficiency and low emissions but are currently expensive. Phosphoric acid cells are commercially available in the 200 kW range, and solid-oxide and molten-carbonate cells have been demonstrated.
- a major development effort by automotive companies has focused on the possibility of using gasoline as a fuel for polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells.
- PEM polymer electrolyte membrane
- Ballard Generation Systems formed a strategic alliance with Daimler-Benz and Ford to develop new vehicle engines using Ballard's PEM fuel cell. Fuel cell costs for these engines are expected to be $200 per kW. Fuel cell engine designs are attractive because they promise high efficiency without the significant polluting emissions associated with internal combustion engines.
- Many other major international companies are investing in fuel cells, including General Motors, Chrysler, Hyundai, Nissan, Volkswagen, Volvo, and Matsushita Electric.
- Microturbines and fuel cells are a major improvement over conventional combustion engines in their emissions of ozone, particulate matter less 10 ⁇ m in diameter (PM-10), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and carbon monoxide (CO).
- the primary fuel for microsources is natural gas, which has few particulates and less carbon than most traditional fuels for combustion engines.
- Microsources that effectively use waste heat can have CO emissions as low as those of combined-cycle generators.
- NOx emissions are mainly a consequence of combustion.
- Even fuels that contain no nitrogen emit NOx which forms at high combustion temperatures from the nitrogen and oxygen in the air.
- Gas turbines, reciprocating engines, and reformers all involve high temperatures that result in NOx production.
- Microturbines and fuel cells have much lower NOx emissions because of their lower combustion temperatures.
- Distributed resources include more than microturbines and fuel cells.
- Storage technologies such as batteries, ultracapacitors, and flywheels are important. Combining storage with microsources provides peak power and ride-through capabilities during system disturbances. Storage systems have become far more efficient than they were five years ago. Flywheel systems can deliver 700 kW for five seconds, and 28-cell ultracapacitors can provide up to 12.5 kW for a few seconds.
- DC sources such as fuel cells, photovoltaic cells, and battery storage
- high-frequency AC sources such as microturbines and wind turbines, which need to be rectified.
- DC sources such as fuel cells, photovoltaic cells, and battery storage
- high-frequency AC sources such as microturbines and wind turbines, which need to be rectified.
- DC sources such as fuel cells, photovoltaic cells, and battery storage
- high-frequency AC sources such as microturbines and wind turbines
- Inverter-based microsources by contrast, are effectively inertia-less.
- basic system problems include controlling the power feeder from the grid, the microsource's response speed, the sharing and tracking of loads among the distributed resources, the reactive power flow, the power factor, and the system's steady-state and transient stability cannot be achieved using methods developed over time for synchronous generators.
- adding a microsource to a distributed energy resource (DER) system has required modifying existing equipment in the system. Further, conventional control of microsources in such a system has been dependent on control of units already in the system. As such, power from a microsource in a DER system has not been independently controlled.
- DER distributed energy resource
- microsource controls to insure that new microsources can be added to the system without modification of existing equipment, sources can connect to or isolate from the utility grid in a rapid and seamless fashion, reactive and active power can be independently controlled, and voltage sag and system imbalances can be corrected.
- control of inverters used to supply power based on information available locally at each inverter Yet further, there is a need for a local controller at the microsource to enable "plug and play" operation of the microsource.
- microsources to a distributed energy resource system without changes to the control and protection of units that are already part of the system.
- a microsource system provides power in any one of an isolation mode and a grid mode and is configured to couple to a power system without modification of existing equipment in the power system.
- the microsource system can include a microsource power source configured to provide electrical power and a controller coupled to the microsource power source to control the microsource power source based only on information available locally at the microsource power source.
- the invention may be embodied in a microsource system configured for use in a microgrid which is capable of separation from a power grid while continuing to operate independently when power grid problems occur and reconnecting to the power grid once the problems are solved.
- the system can include a microsource including a prime mover, a DC interface, and a voltage source inverter; means for controlling real and reactive power coupled to the microsource; and means for regulating voltage through droop control to the microsource.
- a power system in accordance with the invention can include a microsource and a controller.
- the microsource includes a voltage source inverter and is configured to connect to a utility grid.
- the utility grid couples a plurality of power sources.
- the controller is coupled to the voltage source inverter and is configured to control reactive and active power independently from the plurality of power sources coupled to the utility grid.
- a microsource can be controlled in a microgrid system such that the microgrid can operate independently from a power grid or in cooperation with the power grid.
- the method of operation can include receiving inputs from voltage at a connection point, current injected by the microsource, and current in a feeder from a utility supply. The method reduces a local voltage set point as current injected by the microsource becomes more capacitive and increases the local voltage set point as current generated by the microsource becomes more capacitive.

- hardwired circuitry may be used in place of, or in combination with, software instructions to implement the functions described.
- the embodiments described herein are not limited to any specific combination of hardware circuitry and software, nor to any particular source for the instructions executed by a computerized control system.
- Exemplary embodiments of a system for and method of control of small distributed energy resources are described below. These exemplary embodiments can include distributed generators controlled by power electronics.
- the power electronics controls can be designed to insure that: (1 ) new generators can be added to the system without modification of existing equipment; (2) a collection of sources and loads can connect to or isolate from the utility grid in a rapid and seamless fashion; (3) each inverter can respond effectively to load changes without requiring data from other sources; and (4) voltage sag and system imbalances can be corrected.
- the system and method for control of small distributed energy resources can be implemented in a wide variety of different ways.
- Various embodiments may include, for example, DC sources or AC sources.
- the invention is not limited to a particular embodiment, but extends to various modifications, combinations, and permutations within the scope of the appended claims.
- FIGURE 1 illustrates a power distribution system 100 including a utility supply 1 10 and microsource systems 120, 130, 140, and 150.
- the utility supply 1 10 can include a power network or power grid coupling multiple machines or units that utilize power from the utility supply 1 10.
- the utility supply 100 can be included in a distributed energy resource (DER) system in which the utility supply 1 10 connects units distributed throughout the DER system.
- the microsource systems 1 20, 1 30, 1 40, and 1 50 include exemplary microsource power sources and controllers.
- the microsource system 1 20 can include a power source, such as a fuel cell, battery, or microturbine. Controllers in the microsource systems 1 20, 1 30, 140, and 1 50 can provide control to power sources. In more than one exemplary embodiment, microsource controllers can provide control to inverter interfaces found in microsource power sources.
- the system 100 includes clusters of microsources and storage designed to operate both in isolation and connected to the power grid or utility supply 1 10.
- load— tracking problems can arise because microturbines and fuel cells respond slowly (with time constants ranging from 1 0 to 200 seconds) and are inertia — less.
- Conventional utility power systems have storage in the form of generators inertia. When a new load comes on-line, the initial energy balance is satisfied by the system's inertia, which results in a slight reduction in system frequency.
- a microsource does not rely on generators inertia, providing power storage to insure initial energy balance.
- System storage for island operation can come in several forms: batteries or super-capacitors on the DC bus for each microsource; direct connection of AC storage devices (batteries, flywheels etc.); or use of traditional generation with inertia along with microsource generators.
- the energy imbalance can be met by the AC system, and storage is not necessary.
- microsource controller techniques described below rely on inverter interfaces found in fuel cells, photovoltaic panels, microturbines, windturbines, and storage technologies.
- communication among microsources is unnecessary for basic system control. Each inverter responds effectively to load changes without requiring data from other sources or locations.
- FIGURE 2 illustrates a microsource 200 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment.
- the microsource 200 can include a prime mover 21 0, a DC interface 220, and a voltage source inverter 230.
- the prime mover 21 0 can be a fuel cell, microturbine, PV, or windturbine.
- the time constants of changes in power output for the prime mover 21 0 can range from 1 0 to 200 seconds. This response speed requires that either the AC system or DC bus has adequate storage to insure fast load tracking.
- the microsource 200 couples to a power system 250 using an inductor 240.
- the voltage source inverter 230 controls both the magnitude and phase of its output voltage, V.
- the vector relationship between the inverter voltage, V, and the system voltage, E, along with the reactance, X, of the inductor 240 determines the flow of real and reactive power (P &Q) from the microsource 200 to the system 250.
- P & Q magnitudes are determined as shown in the equations (1 ), (2), and (3) below.
- P is predominantly dependent on the power angle, ⁇
- Q is dependent on the magnitude of the voltage, V, of the inverter 230.
- the inverter 230 supplies power to an AC system in a distributed environment and has controls that are only based on information available locally at the inverter 230.
- control of the inverter 230 is based on terminal quantities.
- Control of the frequency of the inverter 230 dynamically controls the power angle and the flow of the real power.
- load changes are taken up by the inverter 230 in a predetermined manner, without communication.
- FIGURE 3 illustrates an inverter control system 300 in which each microsource provides a real and reactive power (P&Q) calculator 31 0, a flux vector or phasor calculator 320, a voltage controller 330, a power controller 340, and an inverter 350.
- Exemplary input and outputs to the controller can include three set points and three measured states.
- Set points can include E 0 : the desired voltage value; P 0 : the desired power flow from the microsource or distribution feeder; and ⁇ 0 : the fundamental frequency.
- Measured states can include E : time varying voltage at a connection point; I induc ive: time varying current injected by the microsource; and I feeder: time varying current in feeder.
- Two variables that are directly output to the inverter 350 are the magnitude and phase of the voltage flux, ⁇ v, or the requested voltage V.
- the P & Q calculator 310 can have three inputs: E , I inductive, and I feeder which are used to calculate the real power, P, and the reactive power, Q.
- Real power can be either the power being injected by the microsource using the inductor current, linduetive, or the power in the utility feeder using the feeder current, I feeder.
- the reactive power is the Q being injected by the microsource.
- the flux vector or phase calculator 320 calculates the instantaneous magnitude and phase of the system voltage, ⁇ , at the point where the microsource is connection. This calculation can be achieved through standard d-q methods or by using voltage flux techniques. Normally, it can be more stable to control the flux of the voltage, rather than the actual voltage. This continuous quantity is the time-integral of the inverter output voltage, often called the flux vector ⁇ :
- Three phase input phase voltages, ⁇ can be transformed to the stationary d-q reference frame.
- the resulting d-q components are time integrated, resulting in the flux vector, ⁇ e , for the AC system voltage.
- Two variables that are directly input to the inverter 350 are the magnitude and phase of the flux ⁇ c , or the magnitude and phase of the voltage V .
- the vector ⁇ r is controlled so as to have a specific magnitude and a specified position relative to the AC system flux vector ⁇ e , or voltage vector E as described with reference to FIGURE 2.
- This control forms the innermost control loop, and can be fast. For example, the speed of the control can be a few milliseconds.
- the AC system voltage vector, E is obtained from instantaneous voltage measurements and is available locally.
- Voltage source inverter 350 can be a pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter.
- PWM pulse width modulation
- FIGURE 4 illustrates a system 400 having local system input states.
- the system 400 includes a utility supply 41 0 providing a feeder current and a microsource 420 providing an inductor current through an inductor 430. In most cases, control of feeder power is the more stable mode of control.
- These input states are used by P & Q calculator 310 described with reference to FIGURE 3 to calculate real and reactive power.
- FIGURE 5 illustrates a voltage controller 500.
- the voltage controller 500 can be the voltage controller 330 described with reference to FIGURE 3.
- One input is the voltage set point Eo.
- Another input is the reactive power being injected by the microsource, Q.
- a third input is the magnitude of the system voltage or voltage flux, ⁇ , or
- the slope of the voltage droop is defined by Mv and the gain K depends on whether the inverter input assumes a voltage magnitude or voltage flux inputs.
- K 1 for a voltage phasor and
- the voltage set point, ⁇ o is added to the product of the voltage droop slope, Mv, and the reactive power, Q, using a summer 510.
- the total of this sum is multiplied by a gain, K.
- the resulting product is added to the magnitude of the system voltage or voltage flux,
- This voltage error is input to a PI (proportional plus integral) controller.
- the controller's output is a voltage magnitude or voltage flux,
- or ⁇ v The voltage magnitude or voltage flux is provided to the inverter 350 described with reference to FIGURE 3.
- FIGURE 6 illustrates a graph 600 depicting an exemplary characteristic of droop regulation when only two machines are present.
- Machine 2 operates at higher output, than machine 1 .
- the frequency is reduced. With the full load of the system, the new frequency is ⁇ min, while if the system is at a lighter load, the new frequency is somewhere in between ⁇ o and ⁇ min.
- the slower loop increases the frequency, ⁇ upwards, until ⁇ i ⁇ o.
- FIGURE 7 illustrates an industrial plant 700 with high motor loads to illustrate the dynamics of the microsource controls described with reference to FIGURES 1 -6.
- the example industrial plant 800 can have nearly 1 .6 MW of motor load with motors ranging from 50 to 1 50 hp each.
- a 1 20 kV line provides power through a long 1 3.8 kV feeder consisting of overhead lines and underground cables.
- the plant has three main feeders: two at 480V and one at 2.4kV.
- the loads on the 480-V feeders are critical and must continue to be served if utility power is lost.
- the induction machine clusters (M8 and M9) are connected to buses 8 and 9 with capacitive voltage support. Two clusters of microsources are also connected to buses 8 and 9 to provide power and voltage support.
- buses 8 and 9 In the absence of locally generated power, the voltages of buses 8 and 9 are 0.933 and 0.941 per unit (pu, on 480-V base), respectively. Total losses are 70 kW.
- Each cluster of microsources is rated at 600 KVA and provides both power injection and local voltage support. The microsource power injection is approximately one half the total power. With these sources operating, the voltages on buses 8 and 9 are regulated at 1 pu, and the total losses drop to 6kW, a reduction of 64kW.
- FIGURES 8 and 9 illustrate graphs 910, 920, 930, and 940 depicting exemplary simulations of grid-connected operation.
- FIGURE 9 shows zero real and reactive power injection and reduced voltages on buses 8 and 9.
- the generators at bus 8 are brought on line with a power setting of 446 kW and local voltage control. Note the voltage correction in graph 930 of FIGURE 9.
- FIGURE 9 shows the active and reactive power injections at the buses where units are located. As the second microsource is brought on line, the Q injection at bus 8 to maintain local voltage magnitude drops.
- FIGURE 9 shows half of the voltage envelope at the regulated buses during the start-up sequence. Voltage on bus 9 is controlled to 1 pu within a few cycles.
- This example can also be used to simulate island operation with power sharing through droop. It is assumed that the ratings of the microsources are not adequate to supply the total load.
- the two 480-V feeders supply critical loads, and the M7 load on bus 7 can be dropped using breaker S2 (see FIGURE 7).
- FIGURE 10 illustrates graphs 1000, 1010, and 1020 depicting regulated voltages during an exemplary transfer to island operation for bus 8 (graph 1000), for bus 9 (graph 1010), and for a 13.8 kV feeder (graph 1020).
- graph 1000 graph 1000
- graph 1010 graph 1010
- graph 1020 graph 1020
- the system moves from grid- connected to island operation by the tripping of switch Si (FIGURE 7) in response to supply problems (graph 1020).
- the non- critical feeder is dropped using S 2 .
- FIGURE 1 1 illustrates graphs 1 1 10 and 1 1 20 depicting changes in active and reactive power during an exemplary transition.
- Active power has to take up the critical load in the absence of grid power. Both machine clusters increase their power injection as expected from the design of the droop characteristics. The machine with lighter load at bus 9 picks up the largest part of the new load demands, as seen in the graph 1 1 10.
- Reactive power injection reduces but holds the voltages at 1 pu. Power regulation takes place very rapidly, and steady-state power is restored in less than one second. In this case, system frequency droops a little more than 0.5 Hz. Meanwhile, the frequency restoration loop has started and restores the frequency to 60 Hz.
- a local controller at each microsource can insure stable operation in an electrical distribution system.
- This controller can respond in milliseconds and use local information to control the microsource during all system or grid events.
- communication among microsources is not necessary for basic system operation; each inverter is able to respond to load changes in a predetermined manner without data from other sources or locations.
- This arrangement enables microsources to "plug and play.” That is, microsources can be added without changes to the control and protection of units that are already part of the system.
- the power controller 340 in FIGURE 3 is described with reference to FIGURES 1 2-1 8 as a specific approach for implementation. Other approaches can also be used with the systems and methods described.
- a microsource interfaces a network through an inverter that is connected to the local feeder by an impedance X.
- a controller can regulate feeder voltage and active power to desired values. The control is designed so that it also allows operation during island mode.
- the microsources redispatch their output power to new values, consistent with the fact that all the loads in the microgrid have to be supplied with electrical energy, knowing that the power grid injection is zero.
- the measure of the angle is given by the inverse tangent of the ratio of the components, with a reversed sign, to keep into account the choice of the direction of the axis d and q.
- the arctangent yields values that are between - ⁇ /2 and ⁇ /2, as the ratio of the rectangular components change.
- this operation can be embedded in the sawtooth, adding a ⁇ whenever it is needed.
- the result of this manipulation yields a sawtooth that is not bound between - ⁇ /2 and ⁇ /2, but rather from - ⁇ /2 and 3 ⁇ /2. Notice that this is the angle of the flux of the voltage vector.
- This vector being the integral of the stationary frame voltage vector, is ⁇ /2 delayed with respect of the voltage vector itself.
- ⁇ /2 is added to the angle of the flux vector.
- the bounds of the sawtooth wave of the arctangent are no longer - ⁇ /2 and 3 ⁇ /2, but rather 0 and 2 ⁇ , in accordance with the fact that ⁇ /2 is added to obtain the sawtooth relative to the angle of the voltage.
- FIGURE 12 illustrates a power controller system 1200 having power-frequency droop control.
- Power-frequency droop control maintains the active power injection to a constant value, P 0 , during normal operation while redispatching output power during islanding to maintain supply at the loads, providing the extra quota of power that was once injected by the grid.
- Inputs to the system 1200 can include the power request P 0 , the current measure of the active power, and the nominal network frequency, ⁇ 0 .
- the output is the inverter voltage angle, or the desired angle that the inverter has to synthesize at its own terminals.
- FIGURE 12 there is a sawtooth icon near ⁇ e and near the integral of the quantity ⁇ ⁇ ; meaning that those variables are not growing constantly in time, but rather are wrapped between limited values.
- the derivative of ⁇ e is calculated in real time and filtered to ensure that a bounded quantity is manipulated.
- the control is filtered to avoid using such a quantity in the control.
- the filter has a time constant of one tenth of a second, making it fast enough to track changes and yet, effective in obtaining well behaved outputs even in the face of transients.
- FIGURE 13 illustrates operations of the ⁇ e generator block of the control system 1200 described with reference to FIGURE 12.
- This generator is responsible for generating a voltage angle that is always constant in steady state.
- the inputs of the ⁇ e are the sawtooth wave for the regulated bus voltage, ranging from 0 to 2 ⁇ and the corrected frequency ⁇ ⁇ .
- the outputs are the steady state constant quantity ⁇ e and the sawtooth of the integral in time of ⁇ ⁇ .
- the sawtooth quantity representing the voltage angle coming from the measurement is:
- ⁇ n (t) is the measure of the difference between the actual frequency and the nominal value. Therefore:
- ⁇ e can change during the transient subsequent to the transition to island, but in steady state, a value for ⁇ e is measured that is constant. As such, the integral of ⁇ n is not subtracted but the integral of ⁇ ⁇ is. This quantity is created by adding ⁇ 0 not with ⁇ n (that would yield ⁇ n ), but rather ⁇ ⁇ which is a delayed signal of ⁇ n :
- ⁇ is a time constant that determines how quickly the delayed deviation of speed reaches the new steady state value of ⁇ n .
- the speed should not be too fast to ensure that only the DC changes in ⁇ n are tracked, while completely filtering out any small transient deviation from nominal.
- This time constant is preferably in the range of 10 seconds or more. Whatever sustained non-zero difference of frequency from the nominal is present, then this equation generates a signal that in time is equal to that amount.
- FIGURE 1 3 Details of the ⁇ e generator are illustrated in FIGURE 1 3.
- a sawtooth wave can be generated from the integral of ⁇ ⁇ .
- This wave can be generated by resetting the integral back of 2 ⁇ each time the waveform ⁇ e is reset of 2 ⁇ .
- the value of ⁇ e is obtained by subtracting the generated sawtooth from the sawtooth coming from the measure of ⁇ e (Eq. 24).
- the wave ⁇ e grows with rate ⁇ n while the generated sawtooth grows with rate ⁇ ⁇ . This means that the two rates coincide in steady state (Eq. 22), yielding ⁇ e constant, but during transients the derivative of ⁇ e is different from zero.
- FIGURE 14 illustrates operations of the frequency correction block of the control system 1 200 described with reference to FIGURE 1 2.
- FIGURE 1 5 illustrates the P c generator block from FIGURE 1 2.
- the P c generator block is responsible to correct the frequency back to a value near ⁇ 0 after the islanding and the transient ensuing might have taken the frequency to a value that is too far away from ⁇ 0 to be sustained for more than a small amount of time.
- K' is smaller and is responsible for deviation in frequency at steady state from the nominal value.
- K" is responsible for the change of P c after the transfer to island. The larger K" is, the quicker the frequency is restored to a value near to ⁇ 0 .
- FIGURE 1.6 illustrates a ⁇ COJ generator block (see FIGURE
- ⁇ j is the desired discrepancy in frequency from the nominal value commanded by the inverter. Whenever connected to the grid, ⁇ ; is zero in steady state, but during transients it is non-zero to allow for a change in the voltage angle. During island operation, ⁇ j is non-zero in steady state, assuming:
- FIGURE 1 7 illustrates a graph 1 700 of the power-frequency droop. It is possible to see that whenever the frequency is locked to ⁇ 0 by the grid, then the output power matches the desired setpoint, P 0 . During island mode, the frequency is no longer locked and it is used by the different microsources to reach a new steady state point, with higher output power (to compensate for the missing power from the grid) and at a lower frequency. As such, all the units in the isolated microgrid will operate at the same new, reduced frequency.
- ⁇ 0 is the nominal angular frequency of the grid
- oo ⁇ is the minimum value allowed for the angular frequency to sag to
- P 0 is the value that the active power has at the nominal frequency (that is, when there is a connection with the grid)
- P max is the maximum rated power of the machine, which is reached when the frequency is at the minimum level.
- Different machines can have different values of 'm', depending upon their rating (P max ) and on their current operating point (P 0 ). Looking at FIGURE 1 7, it is possible to understand what these values mean: ⁇ 0 and P 0 represent the operating point with the grid (point A), while ⁇ and P max is the other point that defines a slope for the characteristic.
- FIGURE 17 (FIGURE 17) as a trajectory that moves from A (steady state with grid) to B when islanding occurs (and the restoration process is activated), to C, when the new steady state in island mode is reached. Notice that the part from A to B is described by a linear equation with rate of growth 'm', which is a negative number.
- FIGURE 18 illustrates a ⁇ v generator which is the part of the control responsible for generating the voltage angle that is synthetized at the inverter terminals.
- This error is integrated through a gain to yield the difference in angle between the voltage at the inverter and the voltage at the regulated bus.
- This angle, ⁇ p is constant during steady state regardless whether connected to grid or not. Regardless of the frequency that the voltages are rotating, in steady state the difference of their phases is constant.
- the angle ⁇ p is added to the angle ⁇ e to yield the quantity ⁇ v , by adding the integral of ⁇ ⁇ then we obtain ⁇ v :
